Sick and Tired
I wrote this "Female Black Congresswoman" (her description not mine) to let her know that in my 54 years I've never considered myself to be a racist but that people like her are fast turning me into one. I read the attached article and, well, it gets me going more than a few cups of strong coffee. I'm just sick and tired of the "Race Card" being played for every little thing that these people (YES, THESE PEOPLE) don't like. I wonder if I went into one of the House Office Buildings, raced past security and refused to STOP when requested (THREE TIMES) if they'd run after me and do more than grab me? I'd probably get my ass kicked and that's the way it should be. If it was a few BLACK security officers that stopped me would I be able to yell discrimination? Would Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'reilly appear with me on National TV to show support for a "Brother"? If they did, would the term "Brother" be offensive to some in that example?
If security DIDN'T stop her under the scenario given they would be negligent in their job as far as I'm concerned. Personally, I think if "these people" didn't make such an issue of race all the time then the issue of race would disappear. While I'm on the subject...Why is it that everybody from a foreign country that is living here carries around the flag of THEIR NATIVE country (or their Great Great Grandfather's native country) when protesting something in this country? Do you live here or not? Do you want to live here? If you don't like it here don't try to screw with what has been pretty darn good for a few hundred years; don't try to make me change to YOUR customs and DON'T expect me to speak YOUR language. I've gotten somewhat used to the English language and American customs. Just leave and take your flag, which you obviously love more than this one, with you! I believe everyone should be treated equally and fairly. That means that no matter what color you are you don't get treated any differently. Let me repeat that. NO MATTER WHAT COLOR YOU ARE! That means being OF COLOR is NO LONGER AN EXCUSE to be treated better than the average Joe Blow!
If Representative McKinney was in Iran for Government business and was attacked by Iranians for not wearing her burqa properly, I, as a fellow American, would be outraged and (If present) would defend her as a fellow American and in that respect, a Sister. Not because she's black, white, red, or yellow but as a fellow American and fellow human being. It's when people start yelling color that I REALLY take notice of it. Perhaps more of this story will come out that has yet to be told and it will shed a whole new light. Until it does, that's how I feel. Maybe it's just me!

I feel it incumbent upon me to comment on the recent sexual assault accusations against the Duke university students by a black woman. If these accusations are true (and it seems the evidence supports the claim) that is also an outrage and I would hope the attacker(s) are quickly caught and face justice.

You may be right Mark. I was just going by an article I had read. Whatever happened (or didn't) I hope the truth comes out.
